WICHITA FALLS, TEX Dec. q, 1851.
To the Editor OF The GaZ, tie.
We did not expect 10 receive compli-
mentarY notices from railroad officials
AID their organs, heEce l am not 81 all
disappointed When these officials and
their "parro,s" and their press try TO
mialezd the public, as they have in the
past four days. See Dallas News Ok 2lst
and % | in its report of the proceedings
Of the Dallas meeting.
4 paper that tIi-F 10 serve the people
and the railroad Gals finds l. neces-
saTg 10 misrepresent. The Newses are
entitled 40 no credit for endorsing the
Immigration movement. The bosses
(reilruad tfi3ials) OF said pspsrs pro-
ested, bur il WAS too iGse. They could
not stop n the middle OF the stream, so
they did the best they could 10 suit both
the people and the railroad I'll ;ials. The
t ffJIl was miserable failure to those
wDo know both sides.
Had the leGst doub5 thst en7thing
had done, said OF written in reference to
the immigration movement was rot in
the Interest Of the people Of Texas, thai
d0uOt would have been rem we'd after
seeiOg the action taken by the News aud
their epresentasiyss, Goth papers, the
old Lady and Tie Kid.
It wUald be We'll for the people 10 fullY
understand an know that unless the
passenger pool o. the Texas lines is abol-
jshed there HiIl be 40 change TO speak of
for the better-that the pool placed
among the Thugs of the past, visible
chsuge which vii please the people Will
SJon be seen by ell.
Speaking of the "blsck list" msn or
paper that does not play the "parrot"
for railroad officials is placed on the black
list. II s paper should intimate that the
management of our railroads might be-
improved or is not what il should be, not
only the paper but the town
it is published in is placed
on said list. Should man
in the employ OF any railroad fail TO clay
the part of the parrot for s.id a ;ials ne
is i'm mediately placed on he list referred
to. II the man will play the part OF a
machine, say or do nothing that is not
suggested by said Officials, ne will perhaps
oe allowed 30 remain in the state where
said officials rule and govern.
Should our state e :ials or representa-
tives do anything thsI did not meet with
the approval Ct our railroad officials, or
should they fail to acton the advice or
CT said officials, or we will
say, DO or not do. to salt these gentle
men, our state is placed on the black list.
We regret to cay mat we firmly believe
the stale OF Texas has been on said list
for come time past, and Is up to tne pres
ent writing. Would it not De we'll to in
vestigate this mstter and, if tue, take
action on the same when we, the people,
cast our bEliots again?
To the Riilrcad Officials Of Texas:
Piesse give The people of Texas G Christ
mas present by sbolisbiDg that passenger
pool. This will De Christmas Gift that
the people are resly entitled to, and it is
enc that the, one and ell, viii heartily
e. jly, and fully appreciate. II you don't
oelieye it, Try it and be convinced.
